Christmas gift suggestions: to your enemy, forgiveness. To an opponent, tolerance. To a friend, your heart. To a customer, service. To all, charity. To every child, a good example. To yourself, respect.

You can never truly enjoy Christmas until you can look up into the Father's face and tell him you have received his Christmas gift.  ~John R. Rice

Some businessmen are saying this could be the greatest Christmas ever. I always thought that the first one was.  ~Art Fettig

Unless we make Christmas an occasion to share our blessings, all the snow in Alaska won't make it "white". ~Bing Crosby

Judy's Pear Honey

PEAR HONEY


Since many of us have a few pears laying around, here is a great recipe for them. Compliments of Judy G.

9 lbs. of pears

7 lbs. of sugar

1 cup cider vinegar

1 stick cinnamon and 1 stick for each jar

Peel and core and quarter pears,  add 4 lbs. sugar,  1 cup vinegar, and cinnamon stick, then let sit overnight to draw out juices.

In morning drain juice in large kettle and add rest of sugar and bring to boil then add pears.  Reduce heat and cook slowly for 2 hours.  Syrup should have a honey color and pears are transparent.  Don’t cook with cinnamon stick. 

Pack pear honey in hot jars and place cinnamon stick in each jar, then seal and preserve in hot water bath.  The color gives the recipe its name.

Judy sends her love to all.
